2021 Skoda Octavia SE Tech TSI E-TEC S-A 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · GD21 DLE

This Skoda Octavia is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 May 2026 at 58,395 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, though the record shows a slight increase in minor cosmetic and rubber-based defects over the last three years. The most recent test flagged damaged valve stems on both rear tyres and a deteriorating rear registration plate, neither of which impacted the pass result but indicate a lack of attention to detail in the vehicle's final presentation. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a five-year-old vehicle. It covered 12,317 miles between May 2024 and May 2025, and a further 11,867 miles leading up to the May 2026 test. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has been used regularly as a primary driver rather than sitting idle, which generally benefits the health of the battery and engine seals. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the rear tyres. The May 2025 test at 46,528 miles noted a perishing nearside rear tyre, and the May 2026 test identified damaged valve stems on both rear wheels. This recurring pattern of rear tyre degradation suggests the owner may have neglected tyre rotations or failed to replace aged rubber promptly. Beyond the tyres, the mechanical history is remarkably clean. The May 2024 test at 35,845 miles recorded no defects, and there are no mentions of suspension wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks across the entire history. The absence of structural advisories or recurring mechanical failures indicates a vehicle that has been well-maintained in terms of its core drivetrain and chassis integrity.
